Use of Acoustic Simulation and Visualization for Revitalization of Ancient Buildings

In this paper, the new approach to reviving of ancient buildings is described. Photo realistic visualization is performed to create exact visual reproduction of the building. To make the virtual environment complete a 3D acoustical computer simulation is also performed. The results of acoustic simulation can be used to make an auralization of the building. This approach has been carried out on ...

Validation Process for CFD Simulations of Wind Around Buildings

Our study is based on a great number of CFD (computational fluid dynamics) simulations to evaluate wind comfort at the pedestrian level. This article explains the method used to validate our CFD simulations carried out with the FLUENT software. This validation is based on a comparison between our simulated results and wind tunnel tests for three different building contexts: a single building, t...

The Energy Performance of Office Buildings throughout Their Building Process

Many innovative techniques and policy measures have been introduced to reduce energy consumption. Despite the high ambitions and societal pressures, the adoption rate of energy measures in office buildings is still low. Using adoption theories this paper provides a framework to analyse the adoption process of energy saving techniques in building processes. This framework is used to analyse the ...

Evaluating Integrated Design Process of High-Performance Green Buildings

High-Performance Green (HPG) buildings are designed through an approach called Integrated Design Process (IDP). The approach emphasizes early collaboration of downstream stakeholders in upstream decision-making and consideration of interactions among various building systems (mechanical, electrical, etc.) by including the representatives of various disciplines in design team early on through th...
